The potent antimicrobial properties of cell penetrating peptide-conjugated silver nanoparticles with excellent selectivity for Gram-positive bacteria over erythrocytes

Silver nanoparticles are of great interest for use as antimicrobial agents. Studies aimed at producing potentnano-silver biocides have focused on manipulation of particle size, shape, composition and surface charge.Here, we report the cell penetrating peptide catalyzed formation of antimicrobial sil...
